Pump noise? I am looking for QUIET.

[AloiWheelz]

Hi so I am planning my build that I am going to be working on in the next month or so, and was wondering if anyone with personal experience could tell me what pump would be the quietest out of a Laing DDC or a D5. And If I choose to go with the D5, is the speed control option accessible in the XSPC Single D5 Pump Drive Bay Reservoir? I can't really see if there is a hole anywhere to be able to stick a flat-head screw driver through and adjust pump speed.

Thanks Guys and Girls. Help is really appreciated

ive had both pump and the D5 is the quietest hands down, but not sure if its quiet in the res. Its quiet when you have the pump on sound dampening material but i think res pump combos are always louder.

im a silent freak, so if you wantt total silence put it at the bottom of your case with some foam under it!

Firat, I am also wondering about the DDC and D5. Just want to say thanks for replying on the thread.

Just one question about the D5. How do you mount it to your case? Do you have to make holes in your case or something like that?

I mounted mine on foam and used very strong double sided sticky pads, on the mounting hardware i got with the pump top see below......

you can screw it to the bottom but i would recommend you do it my way as it makes it very quiet.

below in the image at the bottom you will see 2 D5's

DDC 18W + Poweradjust or Auaero 4.0 Powerbooster and there is no quieter solution mate

I had that pump on 6inches of sound dampening material and it's frickin loud!!!! Try a D5 and you will understand!!

Will one D5 be enough in a loop with a 360x60mm radiator, 240x60mm radiator, cpu block and full gpu block, or do I need two?

i have the exact same setup as you, but tbh i only got 2 incase one fails (the ddc failed on me and i was folding and my cpu went to 95c!!!) and secondly by having 2 i can run them on the lowest setting (vario model).

you dont HAVE to get to get 2 but i would recommend it! to keep the pressure up in your loop.

good luck

You didn't read my post , didn't you?

Of course it is loud so that why I wrote to use it with power-adjust.

I bet with you for all money I have that your D5 will be much louder

i guess i didnt, but my D5 at level 1 (where it is at now) doesnt even make a noise

- im too nice to take your money

Firat, I dont have a setup yet, but Im planning on getting one soon (my 7970 is just to loud on air).

Have been thinking about getting a D5, EK block for cpu and gpu, single bay xspc res, and a 360x60mm radiator (I might get a 240x60mm radiator).

The only problem I have now is the cost. Im stuck at around 435gbp atm after tax :/ (Im from norway).

just go for the one pump, many members here run it at level 2, with multi block setups, youll be fine!!!, i had only 1 pump until recently and it handled everything fine (same as your setup) i added the second coz im extra and i just had a bad experience with pumps so i got it for redundancy.

good luck!
